Asparagus fern is loved by people for its upright stems and elegant branches and leaves. It is evergreen all year round and not only decorates the indoor environment but also purifies the air. However, it is not easy to maintain asparagus fern. This plant is relatively sensitive and if not properly maintained, it is prone to yellowing leaves and drying up, affecting its ornamental value. Let’s learn together the reasons and remedies for the yellowing of bamboo leaves. 1. Direct sunlight causes yellowing Novice flower lovers who do not understand the growth habits of asparagus fern may place it in the sun, causing sunburn, yellowing, or even withering of the leaves. Asparagus fern is a shade-loving plant and is afraid of strong sunlight. Its branches and leaves are easily dehydrated under strong light, causing yellowing and withering. Especially in summer, direct sunlight should be avoided, while in other seasons, soft sunlight can be received appropriately. Remedial measures: Once the leaves turn yellow and cannot recover, the yellow-leaved branches and weak branches should be cut off in time, and water and fertilizer management should be strengthened to promote the growth of new branches. 2. Excessive watering leads to root rot and yellow leaves During the maintenance process of asparagus fern, if watering is excessive or frequent, it may cause root rot and loss of nutrient supply , which will lead to yellowing and withering of branches and leaves. Watering is the key to caring for asparagus fern. Remedial measures: Although asparagus fern likes a humid environment, it is not tolerant to waterlogging. Yellow leaves are mostly caused by over-watering. The frequency of watering should be reduced, and water should be poured thoroughly only when the soil in the pot is 70% to 80% dry. At the same time, in a hot and dry environment, you should spray water mist around the potted plants every day to increase the humidity and keep the branches and leaves green. 3. Excessive fertilization leads to root burn If asparagus fern is not fertilized for a long time, the nutrients in the potting soil will be depleted, the plant will grow weak, and the leaves will turn yellow. Improper fertilization can also cause damage, especially to fleshy roots. Excessive fertilizer concentration can easily cause root burn and lead to yellowing of branches and leaves. Remedy: As a foliage plant, asparagus fern does not require frequent fertilization. If the soil is loose and fertile, apply thin nutrient solution 1 to 2 times a month. When using compound fertilizer , you should apply it in small amounts and multiple times to avoid applying too much at one time and burning the root system. To sum up, the yellowing leaves of asparagus fern in the home are mostly due to improper maintenance in the above three aspects. Understanding the growth habits of asparagus fern and maintaining it properly can effectively prevent the leaves from turning yellow and drying up, allowing it to grow vigorously.
